Verity is one of the judges on the BBC show Pooch Perfect. Today we are talking about how the dogs were kept happy on the set of Pooch Perfect, which was an interesting look behind the scenes. As someone who professes to know nothing about grooming I have learnt so much from Verity's knowledge that she shares with us today to ensure that our dogs are not getting matted leading to severe clips. No matter what breed of dog you have we talk about how to ensure your dog is happy being handled and groomed

On this podcast we have Sophie White who is a veterinary behaviourist. The relationship between a behaviourist and a veterinary surgeon is integral to behavioural modification. Sophie is in a unique position in that she is both a veterinary surgeon and a qualified behaviourist. In this episode we are discussing the relationship between pain and behaviour and why a veterinary check is vital before embarking on a behavioural modification plan. I could have spoken to Sophie for hours so I'm hoping you enjoy listening to her as much as I did!

This week we are talking to Jo from Positively Canine about a lesser known dog sport: Parkour. Even as someone who works in the industry Parkour was not something I knew a lot about and so understanding how it can help dogs have a more positive outlook on life! We, of course, also discuss how parkour activities can help with socialising a puppy and allowing them to feel more confident about exploring the world.

In this episode we are chatting with Jennifer Billot from Bone Ball Bark who is in the middle of bringing up her new puppy Griffin. We talk all things puppy training - what to focus on, what to worry about, where to go and what to do.
